    Omega-3 fatty acids are considered essential fatty acids: They are necessary for human health but the body can’t make them -- you have to get them through food. Omega-3 fatty acids can be found in fish, such as salmon, tuna, and halibut, other seafood including algae and krill, some plants, and nut oils. Also known as polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), omega-3 fatty acids play a crucial role in brain function as well as normal growth and development. They have also become popular because they may reduce the risk of heart disease.

    No, omega 3 by itself is pretty useless. Its the combination between Omega 3 and 6 and balance that makes it great for the heart.

    So if you eat fish its good for you with moderation with something thats omega 6 too. You dont want too much of one and not enough of another.
